This title describes the people my husband and I are becoming. Our faith in God and His word in our mouth make us victorious overcomers. I am hoping as I blog I will grow by leaps and bounds and share the love that God has shed abroad in my heart.

Biggest Loser

We continued our tradition again this season by watching the Biggest Loser with the “Peanuts”. We started watching it together after Peyton’s accident. It has been a wonderful time together and being with good friends helps so much. We love them.

This season, there is a woman named Abby. In October 2006, her husband and 2 children were killed in a head on collision. Her whole world was gone in an instant. I miss my son constantly, but I still have my husband. I cannot imagine having to come home to an empty house, especially in the early months of grief.

I am inspired by her. I don’t know where her “want to” comes from, especially after the tragedy she has endured (is enduring). I watched her video on the BL website. She said she didn’t want to dishonor her family by living the way she was living.

After she weighed tonight (sorry, I don’t remember how much she lost), she made the statement, “death doesn’t scare me”. She was saying the fear of death was not the motivational factor for her to lose weight. I understand, death does not frighten me at all. I don’t want to leave my husband here alone, I love him too much.

So what am I going to do? I am going to press in and find my “want to”. I am going to till up my desire to live life more today than I lived it yesterday. I will “stir up” the gifts and callings God has placed on my life. I am MORE THAN A CONQUEROR in every area of my life, including my weight.

I read over this post and I cannot believe I spill my guts like this.

p.s. Jillian scares me and she needs to quit dropping the F-bomb all the time.

death does not scare me either. i'm kinda looking forward to it (but not in that creepy, going to do something bad to myself kind of way). i just know that Heaven is real and when i die, i will finally get to be with Jesus! as well as Christian, many family members, and some close friends that passed away this summer.

but God has me here. while i am here, i want to serve Him with joy and honor Him in all things.
